1.8t conversion - What I need from the mk4
« on: 25 January 2011, 21:29 »
The time has come to finally get the engine! Just checking I havn't forgotten anything as far as the engine goes.

I already have an ecu and loom so wont be needing keys or anything like that, and I have a custom downpipe and all the other stuff needed from the 16v (flywheel, brackets, gearbox) and vr mounts

This is what I think I need from the donar car

Intake manifold and throttle body (but think I'll be using my 8v one)
Exhaust manifold and turbo Intake trunking (from turbo to airbox)
Lambda sensor and mounting boss
Alternator and bracket
Water pump
Boost control valve
Ignition coils
Fuel rail with fuel pressure regulator and injectors
Bottom radiator hose
Metal and rubber heater hoses
Intake air and coolant temp sensors
Charge air hoses 
Crank sensor

Have I forgotten anything?

Cheers :)

I am sure you need to keep the 1.8t throttle body.

Your list seems about right.

yeah actually now thinking about it i think you only use the 8v tb if converting your cable to hydro, but as im gonna be fitting the 16v hydro cylinders i think i keep the 1.8t one

some parts I missed off

MAF
Turbo intake pipe
Power steering pump pulley + bolts
all the sensors (knock sensors, coolant temp, etc)

but I think thats everyting now :P only 1 way to find out!
